initial email: HELP! thingy won't work

2 hours later: HELP! HELP! thingy still won't work, where are you?

2 hours 5 minutes later: Nevermind, solved it.

Also, PROTIP: When handing in assignments, don't plagiarize anything too fancy or that we haven't covered in class. It always triggers a google search.
